Hi Folks;

I'm having a tough time getting my VM to "see" a USB device connected to my PC.

The HOST sees the device just fine:

[root@VE3RSD-TEST ~]# lsusb
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 005 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 005 Device 002: ID 10cf:5500 Velleman Components, Inc. 8055 Experiment Interface Board (address=0)
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
[root@VE3RSD-TEST ~]#

I have the following in my xen config file for my VM:

usb=1
usbdevice=[ 'host:10cf:5500' ]

However, when I do a lsusb from the VM, the device does not show up at all.

I've read some stuff on the web about passing the entire USB controller, where the controller is a PCI based card. In my case, the USB controller is the on-board USB ports. I do not have a spare slot to install a PCI card either.

Can anyone help? - this is critical to my VM rollout.

Thanks!

Ramesh.
